Mirrored-tea cups perfectly match these patterned saucers

You've probably heard the story of the painter who was able to perfectly match the colour of a room to a priceless vase by simply painting the vase to match. That's the basic idea behind this matching Waltz Cup & Saucer set, whose mirror-finished tea cup will match any surface on which it's placed.

Designed by Japan's D-Bros brand, each cup is made by hand from Hasami porcelain and coated in palladium to ensure the finish is as absolutely perfect as possible. After all, even the slightest scratch would ruin the whole effort.

The resulting effect is a good reason to get a really wild tablecloth for the dining room --although at $86 (Rs 5,500 approx) for a single cup and saucer set, all your dinner guests might all have to share the same cup.
